Castles Vampiria, Fright, and Hope

[Somebody]

Tezztor rubbed one of the horns on his head. "Shes there even if I can't find her. Ssomeday." he said confidently. He looked back at the dragon. "Thanks for listening to this raptor's ssilly old tale." He felt content for the first time in a long time. He found the tome comming closer to unlocking his people's past and he found a friend in the most unlikely place. He grabbed a piece of meat and nibbled on it, not really hungry but for no reason. "Tomorrow morning I will open the book and see what secrets it holds" he thought to himself, assured his adventure had only begun

[Dr. Strange]

Deciding instead, to explore the other Castle, Fright, she left while the fox and human were looting what they could find in Hope. "Mhm... I see where you are, my little treat." She murmured, smiling to herself as squeals of fright echoed from down the hall. "You'll make a lovely snack, you will."

Crimson Fury seeing the cub leap at whomever was behind him, quickly ducked downward, allowing the cub to deal with the threat for the moment.

[Arke]

(Er, I'm kinda threatening your life here, knight...) *see page 7, about half way up

[knightfighter]

((thanks, not sure how I missed that lol. But um now you have a problem to deal with))

[Goblin Cat 😸]

"I'm for hearing silly tales any time." she actually spoke. She lied her head down on top of her hands and watched the raptor. She would not sleep; she'd keep guard.

[Dr. Strange]

Syrial missed the assassin by an inch and, flipping halfway down, landed on his feet a foot away. He snarled a challenge, leaping again.

[XXxMaximuMXXx]

((where am i))

[Arke]

(( looks like you're racing around one of the castles ))

The assassin draws a dagger and takes aim at the cub. "It is never the simple way with you people, is it?" He catches the cub by the neck this time, driving it into the floor and putting his dagger to its neck. "Never send a cub, my friend. Now, is this cub to be a martyr to your reign in this kingdom, or do you renounce your throne? Decide quickly, for I am getting tired of asking."

[Dr. Strange]

He snarled, trying in vane to throw the cat off. "Ow..." He croaked, slowing his movements until he was deathly still.

[Somebody]

He lay asleep, twitching and squirming, having a bad dream. Visions of horde of demons killing and maiming, dragons and raptors being scattered to the winds. He saw his mother fighting off demons. He tried to yell for her to help him but she did not answer. he was still a young raptor at the time.

Tezztor woke up in a instant breathing heavily. It was morning and birds could be heard gossiping in the trees above. He looked over to see the dragon still awake looking his way. Without him knowing it he blushed a bit embaressed. For a few minutes neither said a word he just sat there staring into space collecting himself. "Guess now iss as good a time as any to check out the tome." he said finally grabbed for the book from his pack.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

"I suppose so." Again, she used her voice, something she rarely did. She sat looking at the trees and at the bird who flew from them so peacefully. She knew the peace would not last once they had been discovered with the tome in hand. You look and read about your family, it's none of my business to meddle in your affairs. As before I'll keep watch. Her wings shifted, and she stood to all fours, stretching them, then jumped from the ground and took flight.

[knightfighter]

There was no response from Crimson fury for he was no longer in the room, or at least as it seemed anyways for all the eye could see was nothing but an eerie darkness that engulfed the entire room. "Haha...do you think you are the first to try and kill me?" echoed Crimson's voice through the darkness. Suddenly Crimson Fury appeared from the darkness his massive sword drawn  ((imagine sephiroth's sword)). "Now then either you put the cub done and face like a true fighter, or die a rather horrific death where you stand?" Something seemed different about Crimson Fury the darkness seemed to flow out from his as his eyes shinned a bright blood red, as fangs glistened in his mouth.

[Dr. Strange]

He ignored his master's words, using one foot to slide it under the blade. Cutting the pads, he pushed the blade away some and slipped under it. "Don't hurt my Master. He's a good man. You are low, a disgrace." He jeered, smiling at the assassin.

[Somebody]

Tezztor watched as she flew away then said to himself, "I really didn't mind" Pages and pages of text to decipher put him in a bad mood momentarily. Most was nonsensical jibberish relating to nothing but the mundane. It was hours before he finally came to a passage that was important. He sat up clearly focused, this could be the breakthrough to find the nexus.

Today we walked along the northern trail just past the big statue in the northern gardens. It was a long trip past the ivory towers of hope and into the shadowed woods. Once there we set upon by....

The rest after was faded beyond legibility. Tezztor shook his head, clearly upset. " At leasst its a start." he thought before turning the page comming to a weird inscription. "Hmm" he thought outloud, "This iss the language of the dragons, not my ancestors." He read the passage to himself quietly. Suddenly the book began to glow blue and floated into the air. What could only be described as a dragon spirit flew from the book, looked him in the face then absorbed into him. He stood there stunned, unable to control his own thoughts. Suddenly the book fell from the air into the fire. The magic in the book burst disintigrating everything in a thirty foot radius and sending him flying through the air into a tree knocking him unconscious. The tome was destroyed.
